The Collection: An Ode to My CDs

You might be small
But you represent mightiness

There are seven of you in total
You struggle to survive in battle against
New technology
Fragile armor
Changing battlefields
Ages ago there was a full army
Protecting against the boredom
Protecting against the silence
Now, there’s just you.

You might be small
But you represent mightiness

It has been a short time
That you’ve been with me by my side
Some of you were gifted to me
Some of you were scavenged from being discarded
Some of you were newly procured from the market

You might be small
But you represent mightiness

In that time you have given me
Endless joy
Fond memories
Distraction from pain

In that time you have reminded me
Of late nights with my headphones
Of early morning by the radio
Of connecting with friends

You might be small
But you represent mightiness

When I see the chip in your armor
When I see the broken shell of your home
When I see the small crack on your surface
I remember how you’ve been there for me during my worst moments
I remember how I worked to save you
I remember how you worked to save me

You might be small
But you represent mightiness
You represent
The power
The impact
The joy
The safety
That music brings
